Surprisingly Good - Would Buy Again

The Elations are my first pair of Leggings by Athleta and very comparable to other competitors that sell leggings on the high-end. I like that the leggings are buttery soft, have some compression....but the waist band is what sold me! Its thick, hugs you in, flattering to the waist, and doesn't fa...

Inconsistent Sizing and Fabric

I am 5'11, 155lbs and I ordered large tall in the 7/8 length. One black, one navy. The navy is a true 7/8 length. The black fits like a regular length 7/8 - way too short on me. I also found inconsistancies in waist size, the navy fits longer in the rise and wider in the waist than the black. I had ...

I own several pairs of the Elation Ultra High Rise 7/8 Leggins in various colors that I absolutely love so was very excited to receive the Breaker color! I wasn't worried about the final sale since I've never had a problem before, but upon receiving this new pair today, I was instantly disappointed for they do not fit at all like my other ones. I almost wonder if they are mis-sized. The fabric does not give as much as the other colors do, and the overall fit feels very off. I'm so bummed I can't exchange them for a different pair of the same size since they are marked final sale. I've never experienced leggings to be so different than all the other colors in the same line.

ugh what happened? they've changed. the sizing is all off. the waist is way too tight and not even close to ultra high waist. they were also so much lower in back i thought i out them on backwards. i put my old ones on and they feel like a completely different (and better!) style. theyre not. i checked. do not recommend.

caution of where the leggings were made from as it will change the sizing significantly! I purchased a pair in store (made in Mexico) and liked them enough to order a few more pairs while on sale. The Ash Grey pair were made in vietnam and were easily a size or two bigger than the second pair in black that were made in Mexico. As an online shopper this is incredibly disappointing.

Not the same.

These are not the same. I loved the old version with less commpression. The old ones pilled but these are not nearly as comfortable.

I have owned 8 pairs of these and am totally loyal when I find something I love. They WERE the best. So soft, perfect high rise, no digging in. Sadly bought 2 new pairs and they are not the same. Sooooo dissapointing. Elastic band at top digs in, fabric not as soft. smaller, and shorter rise. I am hoping they are all on sale now because they have gotten the feedback on the changes and people are not loving it. Hoping they go back to the way they were. Will wait and see an maybe try another pair down the line. For now its sadly a bye bye to my fave leggings.

I have been wearing Elation leggings for over 10 years and was excited to replace my worm out black pair. I bought a pair of navy as well. both pairs fit much toghter and shorter than all of my previous Elation leggings. The rise is more of a mid-rise than a high rise. I'm thoroughly disappointed.

perfect for long torso

i have been buying these leggings forever as i have a long torso but regular legs so this fits perfect. however, i noticed that something is suddenly off with the fit. i havent gained weight so it can't be me. it isnt the ultra high rise that i normally get. the fabric is also slightly different. not sure if i got a bad batch or what.

Stays put!
